How can I not understand? Well since you asked, I guess I will spell it all out.
I have a hard time finding my way around and getting my footing here in JR, but every day i learn some little thing and am making slow progress at my own pace.
I not only have a hard time understanding your coding instructions, but adding your typos and your run-on sentence structures means that very little of your tech talk is EVER clear to me. If it's anything more complex than chitchat, I mostly am unclear as to what you are talking about.
For example:
"i told you most memmbers already most active im not sure of but most comments and most active could be closely related and the most recent activity was the last 1 wich i got you close on i can test it laster and see which code works but thats the only 1 im unsure of most members most comments were already answered"
"the latest activity im still working on figuring iut its not instructions its clues to how to figure it out the code definately changed the order but the new "test" group came up 1st now and adding commebts to a diferentgroup didnt bring it to the top so its not perfect im still figuring out the exact code but the basic idea is there"

I might as well be reading Chinese, seriously. Nothing personal SE, but it makes absolutely NO sense to me. Maybe my brain is in some other planet from yours or something, can't help it.

Just being honest. My head simply cannot follow your directions and writing style, and I am not able to go on wild goose chases testing out your various suggestions which i cannot understand anyway.

I guess I will need to start a whole new thread so I can ask the Jamroom Team for a response to my question above, which I have tried to ask them at least THREE times now, ...but you continue jumping in to answer instead of them.
Please, allow me ask THEM my question without continuing to answer it yourself. Your answers are not helping me.
Here's the deal- When I ask you a site building question (which i sure I will do from time to time), you will know it because I will ask you by name: "Hey Soaring, can you tell me....?" But if I really need a reply from one of the JR Team and NOT YOU, I will ask them my question by name, as in "Paul, can you please tell me...." or "Hey JR Team, how do i..."

I hope I expressed myself clearly. It's nothing personal against you at all, but at this point you are preventing me from getting the clear answers and help I need in order for me to move forward in building my site and learning.
Much appreciated.

Sorry Soaring I CANNOT UNDERSTAND your instructions nor suggestions.
Nothing personal but please, I am not asking you because I cannot understand your post no matter how many times you repeat it.
I'm asking the Jamroom Team to help with my question.

I can't follow those suggestions or instructions. Thanks very much Soaring but I'd like a reply from Paul or one of the JR team on my question.
Maybe I should start a new thread with my question.

Again...

(Paul said): "In the Ningja skin groups are ordered newest to oldest by default.
If you want to change that, edit the group module index.tpl in the ACP
Find the line
{jrCore_list module="jrGroup" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}
and change the order_by option
order_by="group_title asc" for alphabetical listing
order_by="group_comment_count numerical_desc" for number of comments (highest first) etc "


@ Paul (or other JR team member)- can you tell me what the "etc etc" code snippets would be for the order_by options of:
Most Active, or Most Members, or most Recent Activity
-are those three sorting options possible? (instead of sorting by alphabetical for instance)? Thanks

...and then do a re-import of our "Discussions" ning archive folder?

Does this new profile (called for example "Forums" have to be a certain TYPE of profile?

If that gets imported correctly, then how do we delete the discussions/forums that are currently under our own profile? or, would you delete all those FIRST, and then do a new import AFTER creating the new profile and setting re-direct?

Should I do this from within my server cPanel, or from within my JR site module settings?
and- Can i just copy the code into notepad for safety before I make the change and try it out, or is there a smarter way to make a safe copy before I change the template?
(I am using the Ningja skin)

Yes I am not really liking either that all my site's forums (not the group forums) are shown under my personal profile name:
Strumelia > Forum > (forum categories)...
They are not 'my' personal forums, they are the site's forums. I'd like to be the site Admin/Owner with my own personal profile page and my name Strumelia, but then have for example the site's main forums be under: (site name) > Forum > (forum categories)... I realize this is not how things are set up or imported, but it seems non-intuitive and odd- I'm thinking along the lines of what SE is saying:

"and this is more a question about how the forums will work once working corectky
assuming that all the niing main forums etc get plopped into a profile and that profile needs a name like dreasdlocks forums and that defaults to profile 1 the creator profile asit is now from my earklier testijng i can change the name of that to dreadlocks forums all the forums are then in that profile but all my postsd have that name will there be a way to move all the "main site" forums into a blank profile give it a name and then have my name presserved on all my posts"

Thanks for any insight or suggestions on this.

Missing a whole bunch of Groups...?

Ah, thank you for the very clear simple instructions! I shall do so and will remember this!
